Ok, I think I figured it out. It took some serious digging and an embarrassing moment in front of a client to get to the bottom of this.

The culprit seems to have been the Join My Multisite plugin. I had it activated but not configured and once I updated the settings for the plugin, everything worked.

What I discovered was that users created from the site level as opposed the network level were being created just fine but were given no role on the site. As in they were a user on the site with no role. I had to dig into the database and in the wp_usermeta table I located the user accounts that I had been testing and found that for wp_34_capabilities the value was being set as a:0:{} whereas a normal user should show something like a:1:{s:10:"subscriber";b:1;}.

When I created users from the network dashboard and manually added them to a site, everything worked fine. It was when I went to experiment with the Join My Multisite plugin as an alternative registration method for testing when I discovered that it had been active on the site for a while now and had a null value for default user role. Sure enough, updating that field made it so that registrations made through the site would work…almost. I just now ran another test and discovered that any registration made from the site will use the default user role as defined in the Join My Multisite plugin settings regardless of whether a site admin specifies a different role when adding a new user.

So basically now…I can either find an alternative plugin or deal with all users having to be registered with the default role and their privileges elevated manually by an administrator. Oh boy. I don’t know of other plugins that provide an elegant way for users to register on a sub-site. Very open to recommendations.

Cool and no, I’m not on either network. Come to think of it, I have experienced it on a different network that did have BP running.

Hey @bellieni.

For starters, yes, Kailey has created a wonderful plugin here. I do think though that compared to many other plugins available, the documentation is pretty solid.

Anyway, if you are including the above HTML in the “Item format” field in the Miniloops widget or in the ml_format custom field on a post or page than you should only need some simple changes. I would try the following:

<li>[title]
<div class="timeout_date">Published on [field name=date_to_use]</div>
</li>

I hope that helps.

Hey thanks. Pretty interesting stuff. Not sure I can pull a solution out of it but it has given me ideas on where to look.

I’m trying hard to think of what these two networks have in common…not many major plugins…not themes…they are on different cPanels but the same VPS on Bluehost. I guess I’ll keep looking.

Hey @ipstenu. Thanks for helping me out. I’ve found this same problem this morning on two different networks of mine. Haven’t had time to check every single site but so far I found a few that showed the correct # of users but didn’t display them.

On two sites on network A, I have 3 Administrators and an Editor. The Editor is not listed and the numbers just show All (4) | Administrator (3).

On a site on network B, I see NO users listed but the numbers show this: All (180) | Administrator (3) | Subscriber (36). Selecting either role filter does display the correct users but All displays nothing in this case.

I have checked both from the site dashboard – – >Users and also from the Users tab under Edit site in the network dashboard.

I am also having this problem. I was wondering if there was some way we could make the list scroll or something.

This is awesome. However, it would be really awesome to be able to add something to the ordinary short code. I had to use another plugin to add a widgetized area inside one of my pages. Everything worked alright (except that I had to change the CSS slightly: .ml-page-nav { overflow: visible; } ) but seems that the widget’s args are not being passed to the paginated results. When I hit the next link, I get the next results but it only uses the miniloops default settings (3 posts, default item format, etc.) instead of what I specify in the widget.

Any thoughts on this? If I could simplify the process and just amend the shortcode in the page that would be ideal. Otherwise I just need to figure out how to get this widget inside my page to work properly and I’m stumped so far.

I appreciate it. I’d love to be able to use this on more of my sites. Great plugin so far.

I just sent it over to you. I have attempted having Custom Press network activated but that prevents Collabpress from activating. If I have Collabpress activated (network or otherwise) I can then activate Custom Press but can’t USE it.

Well, I tried deactivating Custom Press which is a plugin for creating custom fields, taxonomies and post types and then I was able to activate Collabpress. However, now when I go to one of my sites and activate Custom Press again, I get this message on the settings page for THAT plugin:
Rendering of admin template /home4/maubenco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/collabpress/ui-admin/navigation.php failed

These two just seem to conflict. I may just end up setting up collabpress on one of my subsites that isn’t using custom press. Do you have any suggestions on how to make these work together? Thanks a lot for your prompt responses.

Here it is:

Warning: require_once(/home4/*******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/custompress/includes/ajax-handlers.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home4/maubenco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/collabpress/includes/cp-core.php on line 10

Have configured your domain’s settings in your cPanel to support wildcard subdomains? If you didn’t, you will have to create the subdomain in your hosting account and set it in the same directory as your install.

For wildcard subdomains, you need to add an A record in your DNS settings with the host record set to an asterisk.

Thanks for your prompt response. This got me through it. I can now add featured images from my Cloudinary library.

I also updated the plugin, but please forgive me, I don’t fully understand what you meant in your last statement. What did the new update add?

I see that the 1.0.6 version states that Cloudinary images are now registered in the media library and can be used as featured images. This is critical to me and I have been trying pretty hard now but cannot get them to show as options available for featured images.

I am using WP 3.5.1 and am trying to set any of the images I have uploaded to Cloudinary as the featured image for a post or a product. No luck so far. All I can find are images that exist in the original WP media library.

Any guidance?

I would also really like to know how to do this.
